Hosting self hosted integration runtime and on-premise-data-gateway on the same server

Question

Can we host both self hosted integration runtime and on-premise-data-gateway on the same server. We need to configure both on Azure virtual machine.

Answer 1

Hey Pradeep,

I have a similar question. Ignore the Azure VM - can both the PowerBI On Premise gateway and ADF Integration Runtime be installed on the same server in an onpremise environment?

Hello @Vamshi Kishore KALIKOTA ,

Why do you want to install on-premise data gateway on the Azure Virtual machine?

Connecting to on-premises data sources from an Azure Analysis Services server require an On-premises gateway.

How it works

The gateway you install on a computer in your organization runs as a Windows service, On-premises data gateway. This local service is registered with the Gateway Cloud Service through Azure Service Bus. You then create an On-premises data gateway resource for an Azure subscription. Your Azure Analysis Services servers are then connected to your Azure gateway resource. When models on your server need to connect to your on-premises data sources for queries or processing, a query and data flow traverses the gateway resource, Azure Service Bus, the local on-premises data gateway service, and your data sources.

An on-premises data gateway is required when one or more Azure Analysis Services servers in the same region connect to on-premises data sources. While the gateway you install is the same as used by other services like Power BI, Power Apps, and Logic Apps, when installing for Azure Analysis Services, there are some additional steps you need to complete. This install article is specific to Azure Analysis Services.

For more details, refer "Install and configure an on-premises data gateway".

A self-hosted integration runtime can run copy activities between a cloud data store and a data store in a private network. It also can dispatch transform activities against compute resources in an on-premises network or an Azure virtual network. The installation of a self-hosted integration runtime needs an on-premises machine or a virtual machine inside a private network.

You can automate self-hosted IR setup on an Azure virtual machine by using the Create self host IR template. The template provides an easy way to have a fully functional self-hosted IR inside an Azure virtual network. The IR has high-availability and scalability features, as long as you set the node count to 2 or higher.

For more details, refer "Create and configure a self-hosted integration runtime" and "Self-host Integration Runtime on Azure VMs".
